size is about a stick of butter so you can imagine such a small cub, that they are garagely looking -- fragilely looking after right now. they are monitoring their health and looking after mother bear. we are hearing now from two out of the three americans who helped subdue a gunman on a train in europe friday. >> we first heard about this story earlier this weekend and now we have new video to see showing their bravery in subduing that gunman. wendy gillette reports now from new york. >> reporter: cell phone video shows a man suspected of opening fire on a high speed train in belgium hogtied on the ground. three people all helped to disarm the gunman. >> i woke up to basically people ducking and i was like why is everybody ducking and then i turned around to look and he had just entered -- the

donald trump who is the one creating the clouds the candidates are trying to get out from under. chris christie's argument is basically he's going to stick with it, grind it out and over time voters will fall back in love with him the way they used to. >> and also you're talking to ted cruz, a candidate that has been effective over the last years drumming up any issue on anything he supports, the filibuster, what have you. what is the conversation going to be with him about? >> talk about immigration, but also he is talking about religious liberty and the threat to that. he's appealing to conservative voters, particularly social conservatives, and he's got a lot of money to stay in this race for a long time. so he's certainly one to watch. >> and one quick question, john, before we let you go, we had our story on this morning about vice president joe biden and a special meeting he had yesterday. what do you take from that? >> well, yeah, there's a lot of buzz of that and -- about that, and we have been doing a lot of reporting about his thinking about joining the race taking on helicopter.

he met with senator elizabeth warren. that's interesting because while she is not running, she represents a connection with the base of the democratic party and if he's thinking about running, he wants to appeal to that base that cares about the middle class and programs aimed at rescuing the middle class from what the democrats see as the long decline in the middle class and so as a political matter, there couldn't be a more interesting meeting for joe biden to have. >> sounds like a great show. do not miss john dickerson, face the nation right here at 10:30 on wusa9. thank you, john. >> thanks, mike. also ahead this morning, capitol download for a preview of that, here's susan page and derek mcginty. >> today on capital download we are going to talk with democratic senator amy klobuchar. >> and we will take a look at national common core standards and the debate among parents, teachers and politicians as we enter a new school year. >> that's capitol download 8:30 right here on wusa9. >> thanks, susan and derek.
